AWARD-WINNING BANGER FILMS' CALL TO ARMS TO THE METAL COMMUNITY
Global Grassroots Initiative Aims To Unite Metal Fans and Musicphiles to Help Make Metal Evolution: Extreme Metal "The Lost Episode" Due to an overwhelming demand from metal fans worldwide, Grammy-nominated and Juno award-winning Banger Films is setting out to raise funds to make what has become known as "The Lost Episode" a reality. Metal Evolution: Extreme Metal "The Lost Episode" covers co-director Sam Dunn's favorite genres: Death Metal, Black Metal and Grindcore, and he is reaching out to metal fans to help make it happen. "Hundreds of fans have emailed us demanding, pleading, that we do this episode," says Banger Films co-founder Sam Dunn. "So in response we're launching an IndieGoGo campaign to raise funding within the Metal community to finance the episode. The goal is to raise $175,000 in 90 days!" The campaign kicked off Friday, September 14th. Details of the campaign, including cool donor gifts at various contribution levels can be found here: http://www.indiegogo.com/ExtremeMetal/ What you get for your donations: $5 Pre-Order of The Lost Episode - Pre-order your digital download copy of The Lost Episode of Metal Evolution to be delivered by password protected link directly to your inbox when it's finished. $15 The Unholy Scripture - The complete transcripts of the entire Metal Evolution series (over 300 pages) - right from our deliverable package required by broadcasters - get a word for word look at the series. It also comes with the credits including cast, crew, music and archival footage.

Limited to a run of 666, each poster will be hand-numbered by Sam. This is the kind of thing you'll want to frame for your lair. Plus you'll get a digital download link and acknowledgement in the end credits. There are also a lot of other cool donor gifts, like for $50.000, which you can see at: http://www.indiegogo.com/ExtremeMetal/ Originally broadcast on VH1 Classic (USA) and Much More Music (Canada), Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn's series Metal Evolution presented 11 episodes based on their "Heavy Metal Family Tree" originally shown in their groundbreaking documentary, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Host and metalhead-turned-anthropologist Sam Dunn crisscrossed the globe exploring the vast history of Heavy Metal across its 40+ year history, covering everything from the Pre-History of Metal and Shock Rock to Grunge and Thrash Metal. But one very important episode was left out: Extreme Metal. Perceived to be perhaps too niche or "extreme" to attract enough audience interest, the episode did not see the light of day, ironic considering it is Heavy Metal's most vibrant and fastest growing genre. "For many fans, including myself, extreme metal is massively important. It continues to push metal forward, both sonically and aesthetically," says Sam. Alex Webster, co-founder/bass player of death metal legends Cannibal Corpse, agrees: "There's really no way that you could tell the complete story of heavy metal without including a chapter that covers extreme metal. And given their knowledge, experience, and passion for the genre of heavy metal, I think that Banger Films are the most qualified people to do it!" Contributors' support will send Sam on a global journey from San Francisco and Tampa to the United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden to investigate the history, myths and intricacies of extreme metal. Sam will unravel the lineage between Extreme Metal's divergent branches - Death Metal, Grindcore and Black Metal - and meet with the sub-genre's most influential sonic architects, including members of Death, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Napalm Death, Entombed, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, Enslaved and many more. The result will be an unforgettable portrait of metal's most iconoclastic sub-genre. www.cmm-marketing.com www.facebook.com/cmmgmbh www.twitter.com/cmm_GmbH www.saol-music.com www.facebook.com/SAOLmusic www.twitter.com/saol_music

"this claret quintet optimize their own unique sound and dress code - so much for the blood spilled in a moshpit, this goes deeper" Global Metal Apocalypse
The Finnish modern metal band No Sign Of Life has inked with Mighty Music and will release their second album “Embrace Your Demons” December 3rd 2012. NSOL is one of the most exciting modern metal bands out there and even though they musically are rooted in the metal genre, the band draws on influences and elements from all over the music field. Rising from the small town of Laukaa in Finland, NSOL has managed to create a wide fanbase globally, but especially in their homeland. In the band’s lifespan they have celebrated victories and final ranks in most of the top band competitions in Finland, sold thousands of pieces of their demo CD’s and even got one of their demos distributed in Japan, to name a few things. In 2010 they released the debut album "Chaotic Type of Normality", which followed with a lot of touring. NSOL sees that the biggest satisfaction comes from creating the music and performing it live, and the new album “Embrace Your Demons” is where you truly are hearing the sound of No Sign Of Life. “Embrace Your Demons” is not a concept album. It is an album full of stories about inner demons and point of views that should be spoken about. The band has finally found the perfect balance between the epic melodies and the earthshaking rage they always have had in them, and also the space for everything else. No Sign Of Life’s music has always included various different elements that are not usually heard in metal music. Those elements, all tied up with powerful groove, is the factor that makes NSOL a completely unique group. Demons inside are waking up. Are you ready to face them? Check out the video for “Meaning of Life”, which can be found on new album, right here. No Sign Of Life Embrace Your Demons Release: December 3th 2012 Tracklist: 01. Ghost 02. Walls Melt Down 03. Nothing to Say 04. Enemies of Choice 05. Behind the Scenes 06. SymPathetic 07. Embrace Your Demons 08. Meaning of Life 09. The Wounds of Nature 10.
